The PiLog MDRM system is a multi-domain, multi-lingual solution to create and maintain all the master data records of an organization in a single installation

One of the primary functions is that of Item Entry Control for Master Data elements such as Item or Material Masters, Service Masters and Vendor Masters. MDRM controls and filters all data entry, structure and normalization during the process of creating rich text descriptions for the items that it is identifying.

Standard governance processes specific to master data creations, changes , extensions (business extension from the corporate master or golden record) , blocking/restrictions (ie block on an ERP transaction such as a payment) , deletion and archiving are available to manage the complete life cycle of the master data record.

MDRM also contains a powerful search engine that utilizes algorithms, such as fuzzy logic, stemming, synonyms and searches on nested / associated data elements to find master data items. Searches are embedded in the governance processes to ensure new duplicate item requests are not introduced into the system.

Multiple match plans can be created and executed in batches to identify potential duplicates, standard processes are available in the software to manage the resolution of the duplicate in the source systems.

The integration of the client corporate ontology into MDRM with advanced online dictionary commissioning functionality ensures that the client stays up to date with the latest data requirements available

The rendering guides available in the solution, incorporates a very rich model to include all aspects of any industries codification standard selected plus PiLog's enrichments of abbreviations, aliases, alternative terms, synonyms, sequencing flags, inclusion and exclusion flags to enable sophisticated description generated algorithms and duplication / commonality detection programs.
